That would make sense. As a comparison point, Dell stopped putting
hardware MPEG decoders into their machines with DVD drives at the point
where they went to PIII 600/500 CPUs. (The Inspiron 7500 was the first
decoder-less laptop IIRC).

My LCD set has a VGA input, that works quite well as you can adjust the
position/size/timing of the video displayed from that input, certainly
easier than dealing with modelines, over/under-scan values and other
such things.
